The opening as it read in 2025
Kehilat Gesher ( transliterated from Hebrew as "Community of bridges") is a Liberal Jewish congregation and synagogue , located on Rue Léon Cogniet, in the XVIIe arrondissement of Paris , France . The synagogue was founded in 1993 by Jewish and Franco-American family, led by Tom Cohen, a rabbi from Portland, Oregon, in the United States. Cohen is married to Pauline Bebe , the first female rabbi in France and the founder of the Communauté juive libérale d'Île-de-France (CJL). The congregation is a founder of the Francophone Federation of Liberal Judaism and the Assembly of Liberal Judaism of France. It is the only multi-lingual progressive congregation in Paris, with services delivered in Hebrew, English, and French.
